Hi: I am using FCKeditor in one of my form, when i copy and paste something into it using WordPaste, it appends few newlines at the beginning and at the end. How can i strip just those \n without effecting the inbetween newlines and the formatting.

Re: Re: Removing just leading and trailing newline characters
Hi: Its a simple form to create a job. FCKeditor has been placed with the name job[description]. At the create event, it assigns the value to @job.description. I was trying to strip it before saving like: @job.description = params[:job][:description].strip, but it isnt solving the purpose. In the db, the description field shows a number of blank lines at the beginning and end. rajeevsharma86 wrote:> Explain yours purpose here > > put some lines of code i will tell you the way > do something in model > before_save : strip_description > > def strip_description > > unless !self.description.nil? > self.description = self.description.strip # or whatever please > check that how to > # implement strip on string > end > > > Still having issue rajeevsharma86-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org add me > > On Thu, Aug 19, 2010 at 10:22 AM, Priya Saini <lists-fsXkhYbjdPsEEoCn2XhGlw@public.gmane.org> > wrote: > >> > wrote: >> > Rajeev sharma >> . >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. >> >> > > > -- > Thanks: > Rajeev sharma-- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
